AI could help predict dementia risk with a simple eye test

India Today  

Scottish data scientists are developing a digital tool that can predict a person's risk of dementia from a simple eye test. The NeurEYE research team, led by the University of Edinburgh, along with researchers from Glasgow Caledonian University, have developed an algorithm that will enable the AI tool to assess the health of blood vessels in the eye that indicate neurodegenerative diseases. The data allows researchers to find patterns that could indicate a person’s risk of developing dementia, as well as giving a broad picture of brain health. The initiative is part of NeurEYE's previous work of using AI to analyse brain scans for dementia risk.

How vision predicts major brain disorder dementia 12 years before diagnosis

India Today  

A new study has found that changes in vision could be an early warning sign of dementia, appearing as early as 12 years before diagnosis. People with dementia may struggle to ignore distractions and may have inefficient eye movement patterns when looking at new faces. Researchers are also exploring whether making purposeful eye movements could help boost memory. Some studies …

Study finds how vision can predict dementia 12 years before diagnosis

India Today  

Vision problems have become a factor in dementia screening, according to a new study. The study, published in the US National Library of Medicine, found that eye health can predict dementia, a neurological syndrome, at least 12 years before it is diagnosed. Dementia is currently the seventh leading cause of death and one of the major causes of disability and …
